He's a huge eater also.That's a very catchy tune
I know Surf more than 10 years on ET. So I know who he is and what he is. So based on that information I can already make an estimation of the level of nonsense he produces, verbal or written.
Like always in live: if you fake something, do it in such a way that everybody thinks it 's real. If they see it's fake the whole thing becomes worthless.
I compare trading to the Formula 1.
Each race has different setups to optimize the result:
different tires
different setup for downpressure on the car
diffent ratio in the gearbox
.....
On top of that there are the weather conditions.
So each formula 1 team will have dozens of different setups. They go through a decisiontable to get to the best setup for that specific race. That's what i do also. And in Formula 1 a small difference in setup can have huge results in racing; in trading it goes the same way.
You can compare it with the evolution in Formula 1. Schumacher was 7 times worldchampion between 1991 and 2006. He retired but came back in 2010. Surprisingly he was never able to compete with the others anymore. The competition was completely changed and he did not have the qualifications to be successful in this competition.
I started about 25 years ago. We did already have backtesting.
Why?
I daytrade futures since 1990. Never used volume,never needed volume to generate valid entries and exits.
I only need volume to fill my orders. But in the ES there is always enough volume to cover my needs.
No, it is very simple and clear: If I start with $5,000, exactly 12 months later I will have over $55,000 in my account. $5,000 starting capital and $50,000 profits. That is without any discussion 1,000%.
Your example isn't even possible as I close every day my positions as daytrader. I also don't trade stocks, just futures.
I also don't get it how you can get a 1000% return out of your example.

Maybe his "request" maybe not.Announcement from Baron:"Marketsurfer is no longer a vendor or a participant, per his own request to me on May 15th. "
Not even saying goodbye to his groupies, nice. Maybe he did put money behind his short...
Anyhow, I think a proper funeral service* is in order:
